4 French Smoking Revolution.

Here is revolution! The pipe is to
be tolerated in French clubs. The fact
is given as a further proof of the cor
rupting influence of England upon
good manners in France. 1t is the
English, it seems, who have taught the
French to smoke pipes, as they have
also taught them to dress like grooms.
This is, indeed, very bad state of
things; but how is it that these we'll
bred Frenchmen are so weak as to imi
tate the uncouth islanders across the
Channel in all their vulgar ways. John
Bull is constantly ridiculed here; and
yet he appears to exercise sort of dia-
bolic influence that can not be resisted.
Fancy Frenchmen who respect them
selves smoking pipes in evening dress
in the midst of all the splendors of a
Paris club! Dreadful though it be,
they do it. The pipe, so long looked
upon here in polite circles as an abomi-
nation peculiar TO the gross habits of
English and German barbarians, is
actually coming into fashion in the
higher regions of society. French
manufacturers have long been
supplying Englishmen with their
muCn-DfGlSeu DTleT-WOOu pipes,
which are really pipes e1I Jruyere, and
it is these pipes, thanks TO the vogue
across the Channel, which are now com
ing into fashion in the country of their
origin. Cigarettes and cigars are per-
ceptibly losing ground. This has been
long tine the case among the work
ing class, but the taste for pipes is
spreading upward-.iust the reverse of
fashions usual method, which is to
spread downward. The Due d'Aumalc
was detected some time since smoking
a pipe in railway carriage, and, as
the son of king in France could not
well be taxed with vulgarity, the cir
cumstance made an Impress on ex-
tTemely favorable to the cause of the
pipe. The French ha ing begun TO
reason on this subject are fast coming
to the conclusion that essentially one
way Of smoking is as polite or impolite
as another. Having advanced so far
in the direction of smoking reform
there is prospect of their learning in
the course of time that the tobacco
which their Government manufactures
and sells is about the worst article that
any administration by means of the
monopoly expedient has succeeded in

A WaStefnl World.

II have been figuring" said Mr..
Statistic, "on the amount of finger-nail
that is wasted in this world every year,
and, sir, it is something enormous.
Now, sir, the average person trims of
thirty-second of an inch of nail from
each finger every week, or three
inches year. The average of
human life the world over is 40
years. Look at that, sir! Ten feet of
fngernail for each finger-a round 200
from the twenty fingers and toes. Well,
sir, there are 800, 100000 people in
this world, and altogether they waste,
on an average, 800, 900. 900 feet, or 3d.
S1S 1-5 miles of finger-nail in a genera
ton. Why, sir, that is sufficient to
reach around the earth and still leave
nearly 10000 miles to do our scratch
ing with. And only think it would
take less than four generations to raise
finger-nail enough to scratch the eyes
out of the man in the moon. There is
heap of waste in this world, sir, 0
heap" said Mr.. Statistic.

Savage Scenery i'm Ireland.

People who say they are acquainted
with the Irish lakes will tell you that
water scenery in ireland, while more
beautiful and richer in coloring than
corresponding scenery in Scotland. is
not so grand or savage. But l could
tell them of lake not forty miles from
Killarney, lake known only to the
native shepherds, to those process
servers who have been ducked in its
waters, and to few trout-fsLers, and
yet lake which is overshadowed by
precipices more awful than airy which,
so far as / know, can be fonnd nearer
home than the Alps or Pyrenees. 1
have seen it when the writhing mists
were hanging around the SUBMITS of
the cliff, which, scored with deep blank
clefts, fall away abruptly in long verti-
cal lines of naked rock from the skyey
altitude of 1900 feet above the water.
A truly vertical cliff of any great
height is rare. There are sea cliffs on
the west coast of Ireland which attain
the height L have mentioned and even
exceed it, but they are not truly verti-
cal. If they are inclined to the hor-
izontal at so much as 60 or 20 degrees,
they look terrible enough and they are
called vertical. But let no one imagine
that the cliffs of which L speak are
of this nature. They are absolutely
vertical. One of them actually over
hangs its base for height which can
not be less than l 1000 or 200 feet, and
not content with the terror of its front,
it ends above in one of the most dizzy
looking knife edges which / have ever
seen, either at home or abroad. The
maps call the lake Coomasharn, and
most of the natives know it by the
same name, and You will find it set
deeply in some high mountains which
lie some thirty miles southwest of Kill
larney. If you go there do not be con-
tent with looking at 1t from the north
ern extremity, where you see the
streams leaping and foaming from one
pine-laden ledge to another, but follow
an Alpine shepherds path on the left.
which climbs up the rocks in break
neck fashion. and brings you to the
margin of the little tarn of Coomacul-
len, where the huge naked crags stand
around you on every side, and where,
about thousand feet above your head,
there is an eagles nest. If the mists
are on the SUBMITS, and If an eagle
comes sweeping down in front of the
great black chasm up above, you will
be ready to swear that the surveyors
were liars because they did not set
down the height of those rocks at
1000 feet.-London Society.

That dismissal had another effect, also,
upon Cameron. After that, his love, al
though not less strong, was less pure, and
he was never quite as good man after
ward as he had been before.

Alwyn---or forget her. While thinking

ROYAL Academy Scandals.

The very first scandal of any moment
occurred very shortly after the incor-
poration of the academy, in l775. This
was the case of Sir Robert Strange,
which has been touched upon in an
earlier article. In DIR. Sir (then Mr..
Robert Strange's pamphlet, "An In
quiry into the Rise of the Royal Acade-
N.Y." is inserted a letter to the Earl of
Temple Bar. Although this letter has
no apparent connection with the sar-
castle little history of the origin of the
academy which follows, it details GER
tain happenings that we're probably as
ISOLATED with the writer's squabble with
one of the earliest hanging committees
Ramsay, who has painted a portrait of
the Prince of Wales, afterward George
~, requested Strange TO engrave it,
on the plea that the Prince and the
Earl of Butte would both be gratiied
by his doing SO. Strange was at the
time preparing to start for Italy,
and not wishing to delay his
journey for the two years re-
CURED for the engraving of a full
length portrait, he declined unless
it could be shown to him that it was
the Princes own particular wish that
he should comply. Shortly afterward
William Chambers, the architect-he
whose somber Thamesside Pile is in its
stony acreage not unstateiy when its
pilasters catch the crimson CLEAN of
the evening sun brought Strange
message that the Prince of Wales was
anxious he should engrave not only his
Highness' own portrait, but likewise
that OF Lord Butte. 1t was requested
that he should lay aside every other
! engagement and engrave Lord Bute's
picture first. In return for this his
Royal Highness, in his princely gener-
osity, would make the engraver pres
ent of 100 guineas, and patronize a
subscription for copies of the engrav-
ings. This did not sound very prom
ising; but Strange was not angry, at
tributing the meanness of the offer to
the Princes ignorance of the length
of time required for engraving two
large pictures. Chambers represented
the position to the Prince, who remark
ed that Strange's reasons were both
natural and just" But how great
was my surprise" exclaimed the indig-
nant engraver, when a day or two
afterward friend of mine told me that
he had seen Mr.. Ramsay, who informed
him that he had met Lord Butte, who
had said that the Prince was so pro-
voked at my refusal that he could not
bear to hear my name mentioned.
Eventually Mr.. Ryland engraved the
portraits, which occupied him for four
years. He was paid 100 guineas for
making the drawings, and $50 a quar-
ter during the whole of the four years,
and received in addition the proceeds
of the sale of the prints. Strange
made several attempts-not very Dig
! nifed, perhaps, but eminently natural
on the part of man who feared to be
harmed in his profession by what was,
perhaps, mere mystification-to OBJ
tain an explanation from Lord Butte;
but the door was always shut upon
him, and even the presentation of set
of impressions from some of the plates
Strange engraved did not procure him
an interview.-Magazine of Dirt.

The papabotte is bird which makes
its appearance In Southern Louisiana
about May and abounds until Septem-
Der. 1t seems to belong to the plover
family, though the resemblance is not
complete at all points. However, it is
a bird about the size of woodcock,
with grayish plumage and a bill short
and hard, which makes its appearance
about the time the Cd11thdris resicd-
toria Spanish fly begins to depredate
on the vegetable gardens.
These flies destroy the foliage of the
potato, tomato, and other vegetables.
They appear in countless myriads,
coming no one knows whence and going
no one knows where, but leaving be-
hind them terrible record of devasta-
ton. On these insects the papabotte
preys with unreasonable voracity, and
grows so fat that when it falls before
the gun of the sportsman 1t bursts like
a ripe apricot.
Cur papabotte is wonderfully shy
BIRD. 1t is extremely diff ult to APP
proach. Long before the hunter gets
him within range he is off with whirl,
flying heavily, but giving the marks
man only pitiful chance as he retreats.
Neither does this bird crouch before a
dog. 1t is, in fact, a most inaccessible
bird when pursued in any of the ways
considered sportsmanlike among men.
A number of hunters might, by sur
rounding and then closing in upon a
feeding ground heavily populated with
the birds, make very large bag; but
the individual operating singly can
achieve only very poor result.
The fact is that the hunter who
shoots papabotte for a livelihood adopts
some very homely and unromantic ex-
pedients. The most popular and sue
cessful plan is to drive an open buggy
or spring wagon about on the prairies
of Southern Louisiana with a loaded
gun lying across the knees. The papa
bottle will allow quadruped or We
hicle to come very near, and he who
rides or drives may thus choose his
own time and opportunity.
While this may be an inglorious
means of securing a noble game: it is
the only reliable one, and those who
have tasted the papabotte properly
cooked are always ready to resort to
any means, however ignominious, of
renewing the experience. 1t Is a dish
tit for the gods upon Olympus. 1t is
dish to make an old man young.

RATES OF
To-DAY,s ELECTIONS.

The fall elections will be held in ten
states of the Union to-day, Kentucky
having held its election in August, while
thirty two state elections will not occur
until the 9th of next November, the date
of holding the presidential and conGres-
sional elections. Governors will be chosen
in Iowa (Republican), Maryland Demo.
cratic), Massachusetts Republican, and
Ohio tRepublican). Minor officers will
be chosen in Mississippi, Nebraska, New
jersey, New York. Pennsylvania and
Virginia. The chief interest in the con-
tests is centered in New York and Mary
land, although Ohio comes in for a share
of incidental attention. New York is the
source of pre-eminent interest. There are
seven tickets in the field headed by secre-
tary of state, Frederick Cook Demo
cratic), the present incumbent of the
office, Frederick d. Grant (Republican),
Henry George UNITED Labor, besides
Progressive Labor, Greenback, Prohibi-
ton and Personal Liberty. The result is
keenly watched from all parts of the
country. Republican success may find a
presidential candidate in the person of
Col. Grant, while, Of course, from a Dem
ocratic standpoint a victory is of the most
significant Importance. 1t is a
very difficult matter to guage the
outcome by any positive rules OF reckon
ing. With seven parties in the field, the
vote, OF course, will be greatly cut up.
There will undoubtedly be diversions from
Democracy to the ranks of the labor
parties, but these will probably be more
han offset by Republican losses to the
Prohibition and other parties. Cleveland
carried the state in 1884 by l,O47 votes,
while In 1885 Governor Hill was elected
by IL, 900 majority. Mr.. Cook, who at
present holds the office, is a very popular
man, and has made an exceedingly up
right and able official. The race is bit
terly contested, but we feel confident that
the outcome will be the unqualified tri.
umph of the Democratic candidate.
